Though this is “Year C” of the Revised Common Lectionary, and that means a focus on Luke’s Gospel, no one should feel alarmed at occasionally losing the thread of the narrative. Like maybe this week. This week Jesus sets his sights on Jerusalem. The push to the Passion is on, and he’s still reaching out, […]
Monday Meditation: RCL Year C, 2nd Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 7(12), Luke 8:26-39
In the Gospel reading for the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost in Year C we are back in the middle of Luke’s Gospel. Luke 8:26-39 is the story of the man who was possessed by a legion of demons — demons who ended up possessing a legion of pigs. It is a rich story, but a […]
